Body: I’ve just heard that there is a new user group forming in Sydney. Starting in May, the Sydney Windows User Group will get off the ground. They are focusing on everything Windows client related, and plan to demo Windows 7 RC at their first meeting. There first meeting is on Wednesday May 13th, at Microsoft North Ryde office.
